International protests grow as bombardment continues - World Politics, World - The Independent

More than 100 protesters gathered outside the Egyptian embassy in London yesterday demanding the country opens its border with Gaza.

Betty Hunter, general secretary of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, said: "Egypt has to say this is our border and we can open it. It would allow humanitarian aid in and it would also allow the sick and the injured to come out and they could go to hospital.

"Egypt has to stop colluding with Israel and do this now."

George Galloway, the Respect MP for Bethnal Green and Bow, joined the protesters and said: "We hold Egypt jointly responsible for this great crime. Israel's Foreign Secretary was with Hosni Mubarak when the bombs began to fall and it's inconceivable she did not co-ordinate it with him," he claimed.

"The Mubarak dictatorship has brought shame on Egypt," Mr Galloway declared.

BBC claims 5,000 and has a rather useful picture to back it up.
